im using 4.7 net framework

the issue was that i didn't use MemoryStream with using() clause properly thank you for putting offered to reply and my apologies for wasting your time .

by the way when the code bar Format is not correct it throw an error , anyway to generate the codebar even if the chars count are less than 13 in ( EAN ) TYPE ? or should i check for char.Length < 13 , then i change the type ?! which one that accept small and large range of numbers ??!

also how do i Include the text in the bottoms in the same way you did in your Image example ! any code example ?

Those exceptions are because they are invalid inputs according to the specs.

The example app has example code in it. Also no worries on wasting my time. I'm here to try to help 🙂👍

For large numbers of variable length C128 might be the best option.
